I am over the moon about so much here! Gimel’s inclusion and incredible emoting, “Sulla’s parents”, the casual “they”! This feels so warm and bright and loving and optimistic and aaaahhhhh!!!
i must admit i dont really fully understand the relationship of gimel to brendan and the others. is he a servant? a family member? (tho i cant imagine a family member using ‘sir’ to address brendan, sulla doesn’t, and titus only does as a respectful outsider to the family dynamic)
don’t get me wrong, gimel is adorable here but it makes me think- if gimel is a servant does gimel PAID for his services? does he get days off like golems in discworld and mary poppins? has robotic rights affected him within the isolated bubble of brendan’s mansion?
if he’s a family member, its extremely worrying that being included in fun things is such a unique experience for him.
His official description on the cast page reads as followed:
“Brendan has relied on Gimel to help manage the Pinsky house’s affairs for years, and Sulla bestows nothing but affection on her tireless little companion. Gimel doesn’t have much to say about the house’s new guest, but attends to his needs as if he were family.”
I’ve long wondered about that myself… Having servants who live with you feels like a weirdly aristocratic thing to me, and it kind of paints Brendan in a rather awkward light.
I love that its “Sulla’s parents” and not “Sulla’s dads”.
Gimel’s Big Adventure!

WEEPING at Gimel in the third panel…
That’s so nice! Gimel will love it.
I hope Gimel takes them up on the offer. Gimel deserves a good time, too.

Ugh, my heart. They are all so wholesome.
